Yeah! Steph is one spunky tough trooper! Had she been a koror instead of ulong...she'd have more competition. So maybe that's one good thing about being on a losing team...she'll be the last surviving ulong. Only bad thing...when/IF they merge...will she be out of the loop and get voted off first unless she wins IC? *(^ HOPE she goes farrrr! After all the frustraion of being on a losing team AND being strong in the challenges...she deserves it! Gooo Steph!! })}

So, do we think that there will be any type of merger or will steph continue to live alone at Ulong's camp? I am willing to bet that there is a merger, of Steph and the Koror 8 on this episode. Where will it be? Hopefully koror's camp, since Ulong's has no shelter. It would suck for them to have to build a new shelter on/about day 21. The only good point of THAT situation, is that they'd be free of the rats, and hopefully would have learned their lesson from the Koror camp. I do not see a chance of an entire new camp at this point. ]-{ {}{

I think your right MrsKutz ..they celebrate next week , instead of Reward Challenge they welcome Steph into the tribe , feast and drink Rum }alc{ , then individual IC ? This is just speculation..with Mersaydeez and Bianca around we hardly have to think for ourselves anymore {l{ .

After being excluded from a tribal excursion, one Survivor throws a tantrum. Coby ..another Duh..left out again..hmm an excursion individual RC ?

Yea Coby the self proclaimed feminist has been getting really uptight these last couple of shows..too late for him to wipe the target off his back I guess. If he only woulda stuck to his orignal 'blend in' plan..but then again he lost my r-e-s-p-e-c-t when he side stepped Angie at the tribal picks. ,.(

Little did he know at the time she probably would've been his greatest fan (not a bad little athlete too). Ah what could/shoulda been huh Coby..with her went any chance you may of had to form a formidable lil clic of your own. :<(

JP: Next time on SurvivorTom: Three of us to go?JP: Tom offends CobyTom: What do you wanna do?Coby: I want to be left out again, as usual.Tom: Coby! Just come with... Coby!Coby: Hello! I'm still here! I'm still trying to participate, you jerk!JP: Stephenie struggles alone at Ulong. Stephenie: This is scary as hell. This is the scariest thing and the hardest thing that I'll ever do.

TDT ~REWARD CHALLENGE/ Koror win? No RC? - Koror gets help/feast (?) and Stephenie There's no evidence of a Reward Challenge, as such, in any of the previews. It's possible there's another tribal challenge, which Stephenie loses. Or it's possible that there's just no challenge at all, and (while there's no new merged tribe), it's foregone in favor of a "merge" with the usual feast, liquor, and other fesitivities. We do see two natives coming to Koror camp in a canoe laden with what could be feast-like items. Tom is also shown leading them along the beach.

Stephenie also joins Koror in some capacity, whether as a captured player, or an absorbed one (as symbolized by the big fish swallowing the smaller one in the web promo). As ILUVJanuTornell points out, we also see Ashlee's green sweater on Janu (as we do Ulong's big blue canoe) at what looks like Koror's camp. Presumably piloted by Stephenie, who we see rowing away from Ulong beach in a canoe filled with the Home Depot toolbox and other items (despite the melodramatic themes of isolation in the web promo).

There are also numerous shots of Koror tribe members looking happy around camp. Mersaydeez also stated that Tom would drink a little more rum than necessary, and that this would occur in this episode. This fits with the CBS clue: "One tribe enjoys a memorable evening, especially for the member who overindulges a bit." IMMUNITY CHALLENGE/ Pole Standing? - Tom wins Not a lot that makes for exciting vidcaps here. It looks like, as is the custom, the first individual IC will be a test of who wants it the most, probably standing on poles, or some variant thereof. We see the entire Koror tribe (plus, as Biancaxxx points out, Stephenie) in the Koror canoe, rowing to the challenge. There are also action-packed shots of Janu bending down (in daylight), and Caryn and Tom in the dark, with similarbackgrounds behind them. There is also a night shot of Jenn, Gregg and Janu (wearing her buff as in the rowing and bending over pics) looking on, while seated. Finally, Tom is shown looking victorious. Looks like Tom wanted it the most: Tom wins?

BOOT/ Coby?

From Mersaydeez's mega-spoiler, the two options for boot here are Coby and Janu. From the episode title, either is possible (Coby mentioned as much in the previous episode, and Janu has repeatedly been shown wanting to quit). But we feel the title more accurately refers to Coby and Stephenie, whose struggles against ostracism and isolation will be the highlights of this episode.

Tom and Ian want Stephenie on their side, so she's unlikely to be the boot. Coby, on the other hand, has a fresh conflict with Tom in this episode, is outside of the majority alliance, is competitive in physical challenges, and has just won two straight puzzle challenges for Koror. Willard was booted for the mere suspicion of puzzle-solving ability, so Coby (who was looking forward to actually getting to play the backstabbing game) looks like this week's victim. As further evidence, we point to the VolcanicGlass Theory, expounded long ago at the now-defunct Survivor Phoenix board, which posits that boots are often shown in video that changes color in the promos. Coby is shown in color, then black-and-white, in the same sequences (above, right). Good enough for us. So long, Coby.

VO > Survivor, Thursday, the Koror tribe is as powerful as ever. And if that's not enough, they are getting a surprise that could help them even more. But is there trouble in paradise?Coby > We're so kind, sweet, lovable. Yeah, right, whatever.VO > And on the other side of the island...Stephenie > I'm so scared...VO > Stephenie's all alone...Stephenie > I'm not sure I want to go to sleep tonight.VO > ...her tribemates gone forever.Stephenie > I don't know what else to do.VO > How will she endure the isolation?Stephenie> <cries> Oh my God.

Good one here if Stephs Braid , behind Janu / thanks to SurvivorPhoenix
